Earthbound on SNES. Was on my to-do games for a while. Played it and finished it, now it's in my top games of all time. I love it.
Same with System Shock on PC. Overcoming the old school controls was a challenge. Fun game, I go back to it once in a while!

Emerald Weapon on OG FF7. Was the first person in my circle of friends back in the day to defeat a Weapon. Proud moment for me.

You?

Sif in Dark Souls 1. The rat in Dark Souls 2. Beating a From Software boss first try is always amazing.
But the ones I will always remember are the Elite Four. When I first played Pokemon Red, I was a kid and had a underleveled team, and a bad one too but I didn't knew any better back then. So when I first began to try the Elite Four, I lost a few times in a row and lost most of my money. I almost abandoned the game then, but found out that by at least beating the first member I would still get xp and enough money to buy some potions. So I grinded and after a few hours I got to beat them all.

I made 100% playthroughs of Final Fantasy X and X-2 when I was a kid and I'm never ever doing that shit again, those games are great JRPGs but my god do they have the most ridiculous requirements ever for 100%. Still I guess I'm proud of having done it at least once.
 
It's not that impressive, but beating Bowser in original Super Mario Bros without power-ups felt really good.

Beating true final boss of Drakengard 3 and getting platinum.

It's hardest boss I ever experienced in my entire gaming life.

Sigrun & Gna on the hardest difficulty on the new GoW games.
Click to expand...
Sigrun on Give Me God Of War mode was a son of a b*tch but damn did it feel good when you finally beat her. Never felt the satisfaction of tearing off the valkyrie wings until finishing that fight.

Soloing Malenia, Consort Radaun and Sister Friede come to mind. Sans in Undertale was insane. Im sure theres more but I quickly think of these.
 
Completing my first Yama/Hell run in Spelunky, and beating the Lich in Gungeon.

Currently doing Spelunky 2 runs, and this game is fuckin tough.
 
Inner Isshin Final boss in the mortal journey gauntlet in Sekiro.

To get to him you have to beat all previous bosses without dying once, including three super versions of previous bosses.

And for no award watsoever .. not even a trophy...just pure pride... chef's kiss.

I'm never really proud of overcoming difficult boss fights and challenges, but I often get that feeling when I go back play a classic game I missed out on.
 



I loath the Demon of Hatred, I completed Sekiro on new game plus 7 and on every run I had difficulties with it, while everything else was fun.

So every time killed it, I felt proud doing it.

Elden Ring + Shadow of the Erdtree
Maliketh, Radagon+Elden Beast, Malenia, Fire Giant, Consort Radahn, Messmer, Rellana

I was actually proud just to beat Margit the first time.
 
Mass Effect Legendary Edition (technically three games) on Insanity difficulty. I don't play games on higher difficulty but this one was a lot of fun as it forced me to try different tactics with my team members. More of a thinking difficulty for an action game. Back when Bioware was Bioware.

I beat the grand slam in Dakest Dungeon 2 (beating all chapters with the same team one by one, no hero deaths), which I'm hearing requires 300 IQ so that's another one
 
Bloodborne and Demon's Souls Remake.

As for special bosses, I usually don't do them. I did Culex for SMRPG and Yiazmat in FFXII.

Oh! I did the 100 floor optional tower in Tactics Ogre Reborn. It wasn't super hard but it was a test of patience, holy shit.
 
If we want to go old school I'll bring up beating Kenseiden on the Master system. Admittedly the hardest part was beating the monk boss.(Once you found out how to beat him the rest was easy.) Oh and of course beating Ninja Gaiden on the NES.(Which is admittedly not so bad when my friend realized that the last 3 bosses aren't a boss rush. They don't come back if you've already beat them.)
 
I have two of them.

The first is Mike Tyson in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! After tons of practice and memorization needed to survive that absolute onslaught of punches of the first minute of round one, I then started learning the rest of the fight. This one particular playthrough, it was round 3 with not much time left to go and I knocked Mike down for what I thought was the second time in the round, until Mario told me 'TKO'. I couldn't believe it. I have never tried again.

The second is the original Contra. I have only done it once, but I made it all the way through the game without dying. A couple caveats, it was single-player and I used the spread gun the entire game. You can call it OP all you want but the game is still ridiculously hard to complete with no hits, even when equipped with the best weapon. These days, I'll usually make it to Energy Zone or Hangar... then when I die, I turn it off and will try again next year.
 
Now that I look back beating alot of import jap rpgs back in the 16bit/ps1 days without knowing a lick of japanese. I remember as a kid I would just talk to everyone in the villages/towns to hopefully trigger something and explore everybit of the overworld map to try to find the next destination. The dbz rpg for snes was my 1st attempt back in the days sure wish there was a modern remake for that game and it's unique card based battle system.
 
Beating Alien Soldier was cool. The last few bosses where hard as nails, specially that fucking space cowboy

Earthbound for me as well.
And Super Metroid, I had a SNES but couldn't afford the actual games. So missed out on playing most. Till many years later till I got the SNES Classic.
So beat played and beat Earthbound for the first time on it, as well as Super Metroid. Was like "oh I get why people mention it a lot now"
